Two Acts to regulate regenerative medicine & cell therapy in Japan
22
Regenerative Medicine
All medical technologies using processed cells which safety and
efficacy have not yet been established
The Act on Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices (PMD Act)*
* Two laws were enacted in November 2014
Production and marketing of regenerative and cellular therapeutic
products by firms
The Act on the Safety of Regenerative Medicine
Provision of regenerative medicine
Cell processing
I. Obligate hospitals and clinics to
submit plans in advance and report
Overview of the Act on the Safety of Regenerative Medicine

III. Obligate CPCs to notify or
obtain licence/acreditation
Certified committee

medicine

The Act on the Safety of Regenerative Medicine
The Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Act (PMD Act)
Difficult to gather and evaluate the data for efficacy of regenerative medical products in a short time due to heterogeneity of cells
New category and definition of “regenerative medical products”
Expedited approval system for regenerative medical products
To secure timely provision of safe regenerative medicines, a new regulatory framework is needed
After the safety is confirmed and the results predict likely efficacy, the product will be given conditional, time-limited marketing authorization in order to enable timely provision of the products to patients.
Phased clinical trials (confirmation of efficacy and safety)
Marketing authorizati

Clinical study
[New scheme for regenerative medical products]
Post-marketing safety measures must be taken, including prior informed consent of risk to patients

< Drawback of traditional PAL approval system >
Long-term data collection and evaluation in clinical trials, due to the
characteristics of cellular/tissue-based products, such as non-uniform
quality reflecting individual heterogeneity of autologous donor patients
・Voicing for Regenerative Medicine Promotion Act (and other laws) ( 2006-2014) /“JSRM Ethics” for regenerative medicine participants ・New casualty insurance development for “clinical study” ( FIRM to design casualty insurance for “cell culture outsourcing “) ・Certificate for regenerative medicine physicians to involve clinics ・Certificate for cell culture technicians for qualified cell processing ・Public symposium and media communication to improve literacy
Avoidance of asymmetry of information among stakeholders
JSRM activity to be more allied with TERMIS-AP or TERMIS-Int’l
FIRM established in July 2012 Starting from study meeting at TWIns in 2011, now more than 120 company members joining. ・Voicing t outside to promote RM industry ・Tackling with conventional issues within industry
Methodology of Insurance Coverage and Patient Access (Health Technology Assessment vs Budget Impact)
Allogeneic cell & tissue - Banking and Supply system (for treating large number of patients properly)
Innovative PPP Cluster set up to realize RM as industry (to generate S&Ts and “positive” regulations at one place)
Global Standardization based on stakeholders’ consensus (frontiers of medical industry to collaborate )
Securing longer term career plan for fusion specialists ( Leaving from Inflexible doctorate program at university)
Remaining key issues to be solved from now…
